Gatekeeper - Basically the game's Joke Character, or Lethal Joke Character in the right hands.Male Byleth- It should be a given that the Player Character would come in both genders, much like with Robin and Corrin in the previous game, however his presence or not is yet to be confirmed.Nemesis- Because the game kinda needs some playable representation for the villain side too.He's also the most prominent knight unit of the original game, and thus, he could be this game's equivalent of characters like Frederick and Xander, of the first Fire Emblem Warriors. Jeralt- He's the father of Byleth, and thus a relatively important character in Three Houses, and has already been shown in the trailer.

The question is, will they let Church characters be playable? Seteth- He's the de facto Silver Snow lord, so I could see him being added as a melee-oriented Wyvern Rider representative with his Spear of Assal.As for gameplay, they could each represent their Special classes, with Yuri as a Trickster, Balthus as a mixed-range War Monk, Constance as a Dark Flier, and Hapi as a Valkyrie. The Ashen Wolves- I'm a little iffy on them considering they don't appear anywhere in the trailer and they were Downloadable Content in Three Houses proper, but nothing's saying the Wolves can't appear in this game either (similiarly to how Monk Maz Kyoshia was a secret character in Age of Calamity, despite debuting as DLC for Breath of the Wild).Dorothea- She's the dedicated Dancer in Three Houses so having her represent the class in Three Hopes sounds natural.Raphael- He's not the most popular student, but he's the most obvious Brawler/Grappler class representative if the Ashen Wolves are absent, specializing in heavy close-combat blows.Ingrid- She could serve as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Caeda from the last game, representing the Pegasus Knight class.On top of dark magic, she's also a light mage, so maybe she could use a hybrid of the two magic types as a playable character, using different spells than Hubert to help differentiate them. Lysithea- Considering she won Choose Your Legends 4 alongside the house leaders, I think she might be a given for a playable position here.I could see him being similar to Edelgard in terms of gameplay, though hopefully not a complete Moveset Clone.
